Eartho sounds like a something a user wants. We have found that privacy is an added bonus, but that it is only one of many features a developer wants. Adding yet another button that users don't understand confuses users. I'm the f

OAuth 2.1 has no new features. It is OAuth 2.0 rolled up with all the specs since 2.0. It is the better place to start for learning about delegated authorization.

OAuth 2.0 took the best features of what was already being deployed by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc. and added in scopes and refresh tokens. The objective was to standardize how to delegate authorization so that developers did not have to

thanks! ... just like SSO -- it does not seem hard in a demo that has made it easy!

Hey HN, I’m Dick Hardt[1][2][3], and I’m the founder of Hellō. Hellō is a new paradigm in Identity as a Service that empowers the user, simplifies development, and has a much lower cost structure. If you are building a new app, Hellō is fa

Tl;dr: If you are a developer considering adding World ID to your project. Wait. If you see an app using World ID. Be safe. The OAuth Best Security Current Practices have not been followed. Combined with the following point, applications us

The OP conflates the fediverse with Mastodon, and my understanding of his key point is that it is doomed because Mastodon is complicated to run. As the operator of https://press.coop , I agree. Mastodon is 10 yr old web tech (Rub

ActivityPub is the core protocol and is a W3C standard Mastodon is the most popular implementation currently, but there are many other implementations in the fediverse

When I first looked at Mastodon, I had to choose between applying for an account, or choosing open enrollment to a server that had moderation issues. We created verified.coop for people that wanted to start using Mastodon right away and wan

The blockchain aspect is not supposed to get you excited. :) As a co-operative we don't have equity to sell for financing. Tokens enable us to separate ROI from governance, and many investors are willing to invest in tokens. As a devel

Agree that there have been many failures in the smart contract market. In contrast to many crypto projects, we are only using smart contracts for financing Hellō so that we can separate the return on investment from the cooperative governan

As a developer, you don't know which provider the user has chosen, and the provider does not know which apps the user is using, improving privacy and resiliency. > And it likely complicates integrations with the services. If you wan

I founded Hellō to solve this problem. A neutral service where you get to choose how to login, and how you can recover your Hellō Wallet. Done. See Show HN post I wrote this morning https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33178

Q: how many of you will add support to Passkeys to your application? Is it worth the effort of adding yet-another-way-to-login for your users? It will be a long time before you could use it as the ONLY way to login. You will need to figure

Supporting the initiative is one reason to join. Influencing the direction of the co-operative is another. Our current corporate members want Hellō to succeed as it will help their business succeed. A rising tide raises all boats. The only

Yes. GitHub, GitLab, and Discord are on our roadmap. Twitter is also -- but more as a way to claim a Twitter handle. We did not do GitHub and Discord at first as they are OAuth only -- no OpenID Connect support. Thanks for letting us know w

Thanks! Any other feedback?

You are correct -- a generic word like 'hello' is challenging. Today people find https://hello.coop through Google currently by searching for "hello coop" or "hello identity"

Giving you control of your identity is our mission. You online presence should not be held hostage by any of the social providers, which is why we encourage you to add backup providers so you can recover your Hellō Wallet if you lose access
